Chicago Baseball is BACK!

Last year, the Chicago Cubs made a great run in the second half of the season to come from 3rd place of their their division to winning that division and going to the playoffs for the first time since 2003.  But it was a waste of time because they ended up lost the series against Arizona Diamondbacks by getting swept 4-0.  This year, they starting off with a great season of 17-10 and leading their NL division and having sports experts say they have the best chance of coming out of the NL Conference to go to the World Series.
For the Chicago White Sox, things were bad for them. From the pitching rotation to the infield/outfield and the offense was horrible.  They didn't make it to the playoffs since their World Series win in 2005 and was dead last in their AL division.  Now, this year they kind of turned it around.  With the addition of Nick Swisher and Orlando Cabrera, the offense is a lot better and the pitching is doing well so far.  They are leading the AL Division with a 14-12 record. 
Both teams are doing great on both sides of the ball and it they keep on winning both Chicago teams will be able to be in the playoffs at the same time and could possibly see a Chicago only World Series.  If that was to happen, I personally would put my money on the White Sox, representing the South Side!
